The enduring fascination of Morocco lies in its history as a crossroads of civilization that was influenced by the Romans, then the Arabs, more recently by French and Spanish colonialists, and enriched by links with tribal Africa. From the pine forests and olive groves of the Mediterranean coast to the south, where the cultural traditions of Berber tribesman flourish, one is drawn into a magic world of Moorish monuments, Islamic art and architecture, teeming bazaars, exquisitely tiled courtyards and hauntingly beautiful palaces and gardens. This tour is exclusive to SBMA and custom designed for its Members, and offers behind-the-scenes access to many private homes and collections. The itinerary includes the four great Imperial cities of Morocco- Fez, Meknes, Rabat, and the rose-colored oasis of Marrakech- as well as Casablanca and Tangier. Keelan Overton, an Islamic art and architectural historian, will accompany the tour as the study leader, along with Moroccan guide Nabil Ezzaouaoui, who is known for his ability to expertly and openly share the cultural richness and diversity of Morocco.
